Is Moorhouse still here on trial?
Err exactlyHard to do a job when he doesn't have access. Although if you didn't know for sure why release things like that?
Or it's what Nick has said.It sounds like there is no money left in the pot for permanent signings !! Loans all the way from her IMO
Biamou is a centre forward with a similar style to Collins. So I think your more likely to see a striker than a CF. Or by Collins do you mean '20 goals a season guaranteed' type.I would still like to see a James Collins type sign for us to be fair

Agreed.I agree.
The words being used suggest 'maybe we will look at some signings later.'
The squad is pretty good, but we definitely need 3 or 4 more bodies in otherwise I will be worried.

He seems happy with the striker unit we have -mcnulty biamou k thomas beavon and ponticelliI would think this means that he has a better striker lined up?
He was looking at Andy Williams though so surely that means he still wants one more. Agree we need a creative midfielder, possibly Gary Roberts from Pompey?He seems happy with the striker unit we have -mcnulty biamou k thomas beavon and ponticelli
Thibk it will be wingers and attacking mid that come in. 2 should be enough

He's talking about trialists when he says they may look at more later on. You can sign players without having them on trial as evident by the 9 other signings we've made this summer. I seriously doubt that we've decided against signing a young striker from the Northern Irish league because we can't afford him.
Not as juicy a story though unfortunately.He's talking about trialists when he says they may look at more later on.

To my knowledge, no-one said he was not good enough!It was a bit of a shame to see we're not signing Moorhouse, but then if MR judges him "not good enough" then I'd obviously rather we didn't take him.<snip>l.
Moorhouse has only just turned 24! I think he has plenty of time to improve as well.I don't believe that we haven't signed Moorhouse for financial reasons, I think MR has seen the way some of the youngsters have returned to pre-season (the likes of Ponticelli) and decided that promoting our youth is better for us as a Club, MR only wants player with the quality to improve the squad and that's sensible.
To my knowledge, no-one said he was not good enough!
He scored 11 from 17 for Glenavon in the Irish Premier League, which has to be on a par with L2, so he's a proven goal-scorer.
I don't know about anyone else, but looking at a video of someone's goals and taking them on trial sounds a bit lazy to me. Could show you a highlight reel for Marcus Tudgay and he'd look half decent. Bit of a waste of time in my opinion if you haven't seen him play.
No obviously not, but surely you have to see him in person before you can make a judgement. A highlight reel can make anyone look good, even me!Isn't that the whole purpose of a trial? What did you think of his performances?
We had no scouting department. Would you rather we just stuck with what we had? Agents passing on videos of clients is commonplace. No different to most other clubs.
